Dear Mister Fantasy play us a tuneSomething to make us all happyDo anything take us out of this gloomSing a song, play guitarMake it snappy Oh yes, and a coupla 5 stars to boot.

In Florida and much of The South, it's vitally important to keep the boys dusted in the humid season.

Frankly, I am always dubious about PNW rankings. Especially at 247. A mixed bag at best.

All of his schools of interest appear to have been east of the Rockies, except Oregon. Sounds like being out-of-state was important to him. This may highlight another aspect of NIL......the prioritization of those dollars in the roster management process. We have about 7 TE's on roster, how much of the budget are they willing to spend to get another one?

Where Oregon goes at tight end after 4-star and top target Riley Williams cuts the Ducks 247SPORTS.COM The Oregon Coaching staff got some tough news Tuesday morning with Top 100 prospect and the state of Oregon's top prospect Riley Williams eliminated Oregon from Time to go after a 5 star TE

What...no Tony Cherry? Maybe he wasn't a Coach Campbell RB?

Imagine the Keith Moon offensive gameplan? OK, I'm back. As I posted in the similar thread, all I needed to see was the second half of the bowl game and the Spring Game to know that the scheme was issue, not the roster.

I think Seven McGee got an offer when he was toilet-trained--or thereabouts-- if memory serves?

Wow, that's some strong prognostication skills on display there. UW above us alone is enough to identify obvious cognitive bias, Stanford is the final clue.

I don't have subscriptions to the recruiting sites but I wonder what happened here. One of the sites suggested that the Ducks had an outside chance of getting commitments this weekend from a trio of 5 stars, one of which was an OL, I believe? I wonder if that predicted OL was Proctor or a different recruit?

Just read the Kayden Proctor dropped us....top OL according to some recruiting rankings. Oregon Recruiting: 5-star OT Kadyn Proctor cancels visit to Oregon DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Tough break for the Ducks. 5-star OT Kadyn Proctor canceled his OV to Oregon and took the Ducks out of his final schools.

We may have the youngest roster in the Power 5 this year. While the talent is there, Big Dan is a rookie coach. I expect growing pains.

How Oregon Ducks are embracing lift of scholarship limit for new players WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM The roster Dan Lanning and his staff inherited was one of the youngest in the FBS. Marshall Malchow (sp?) has his work cut out for him.

Avery Johnson....apparently a freak athlete.

Oregon prefers Dante Moore over Rashada. There's another 4 star kid they like better as well.

The article implies he does. Mentions his addition brings the team up to 87 schollies. Lanning probably figures there will be attrition between now and Gameday.

MariØ Hey...it works! Thanks, ICamel. I appreciate stormrider's post for causing us to examine our priors once again. I have nothing more to add that hasn't already been said. I have been convinced by the collective wisdom of the Forum with Decorum's that we are in a better place with him in Miami. One piece of evidence for his elite level douchbaggery was the HATRED the rest of the Pac-12 coaches had for him. I mean to deny college athletes spots on all-conference teams because their Coach is an A-hole is an amazing testament to his ability to be a sheep's bollocks.

I am shocked that Canzero contradicts himself within a 500 word column. Deserves a Pulitzer that one.

Once Mari-NO-o gets a hold of Van Dyke, his rating will plummet as he plays more games. I'm calling it now: Nix will have a better year than Van Dyke

Have to agree with Ahhhh-burn at No. 1 Those people make me root for the Tide once a year.

Quito Ecuador is beautiful, lots of English spoken, money goes a long way and may have the most desirable climate of anyplace I have ever been. It is 75-80 degrees ever day of the year (10,000 feet above sea level). You won't spend a lot on heating/cooling! However, medical is sketchy. Panama, due to canal history and lots of US expats, has reasonably good health care, is US dollar-based and is seamless with SS & Medicare. The coastal area are Florida-esque in terms of climate and critters. In the hills, the climate is much milder. Boquete is at nearly 4,000 feet.

Most countries in Europe have affordable rural towns and health care is affordable until Medicare kicks in....most EU countries have agreements with US Medicare to facilitate this. If you are looking to buy property for retirement the EU makes sense since it is much cheaper. We are debating rural Austria vs. Oregon Coast for retirement HQ. Housing is about half price in Austria. Of course, other things are higher like groceries, gas (fuhgeddaboutit), energy. But Austria Switzerland and Germany are spendy compared to Italy, France, Spain and Portugal. French-speaking Belgium is another affordable region where you get a lot of house for the buck. Dollar is about at its peak exchange now too.

His commitment to the fall line and confidence in his ability to either turn or jump to avoid disaster is fearless.

Hadn't thought of that....good point.
